Animal Lover & Great Communicator!

Pet care experience

I have had dogs and cats since I was a kid, and I love nothing more than hanging out with and caring for them! After taking a break from Rover for a few years and just working with clients I've met through word of mouth, I'm now working from home and have more time for sitting!! I have been dog and cat sitting for 15 years and using Rover for 8. I have experience with puppies, dogs of all sizes, older dogs who need medication, and cats! I graduated from Saint Louis University where I volunteered for an animal shelter weekly. I would LOVE to sit for your pet. I will treat him/her like family! One of my favorite things is going on walks/runs with dogs. I send pictures/videos daily directly to your phone (if that is your preference, of course), so you'll always know how your fur baby is doing. My preference is to stay at your home where your dog or cat will be most comfortable. I am extremely respectful of your home and always leave it tidy. I have also dog, cat and house-sat for numerous clients through other sites and am happy to provide additional references. I will provide a discount for stays longer than 7 days. Your pet will get a TON of love and attention with me. Can't wait to meet you and your pup/cat!

Kristin was referred to me by a friend. She watched my goldendoodle for three weeks while I was traveling. She sent updates and took care of him very well. The house was also spotless when I returned. Will use her services again.

Kristin is great! She has been a wonderful sitter for my cat (who hides from most people) over several long weekends and vacations. Very communicative and friendly. Definitely recommended!

Kristin is the best! She was communicative, friendly, and great with Sven. She took lots of lovely photos of Sven while on the walk, and even practiced his tricks. I will definitely be calling her again in the future.

I love going for walks or runs. I like to let dogs stop to sniff if that's their preference. It's so engaging for their brains! I'll work on the tricks with your pup and give them treats.

I work from home and can be around for walks, potty breaks or pets. I'll also check what your pet is used to so I don't leave alone for long stretches of time. I never pet sit for more than one family at a time, so your pup will get my full attention.
